North West Aluminium Ltd was established over 30 years ago and is one of the largest manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors of roofing and ventilation products in Ireland. Kytun Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of North West Aluminium, designs and manufactures a wide range of roofing products in both UPVC and aluminium and is one of Ireland’s largest producer of Aluminium roofing systems.
Aluminium is called the ‘Green Metal’ because it is one of the most environmentally friendly metals on the planet. It is the most abundant metal in the Earth's crust and the most recycled of any industrial metal.
Of the more than 1 billion tons of aluminium ever produced, roughly 75% is still in use today thanks to recycling. Recycling aluminium saves 95% of the energy required to produce aluminium from raw materials. Consequently, it is one of the most valuable items in your recycling bin and ultimately the most recyclable industrial material.
Whilst PVC and other plastics are extremely popular materials for dry fix verge systems, aluminium is increasingly being seen as a superior alternative material for roofing products. As well the environmental benefits of aluminium, it also offers some great advantages over uPVC.
Aluminium is stronger than uPVC, which means products can be slimmer and lighter and transport costs are lower. It is highly corrosion resistant and with an expected service life of over 45 years with little or no maintenance, lasts longer than uPVC. Further benefits include the wide range of vibrant colours Aluminium can be supplied in.
Kytun produces a range of aluminium dry verge systems to suit natural slate, fibre cement slates and roof tiles. The system is available in two types, T1 and T2 and there is also a retrofit version. They are supplied in 3m metre lengths as standard. The systems are available in an extensive range of colours including black, slate grey and brown.
For fibre cement slates, the 18mm verge system is suitable for slates up to 6mm thick. For clay and concrete roof tiles, there are 45mm versions for plain tiles and flat interlocking tiles, 55mm versions for low profile tiles and 65mm versions for deep profile tiles. The retrofit systems are available in 50mm and 65mm versions.
